7X65r double rifle for driven hunt?

Hi!
Id like to hear about your experiences or thoughts concerning the german 7X65r Brenneke in a double rifle for driven hunt?. I allready use it in a single shot rifle for stalking since about 10 years and I'm very pleased with it. I have reloaded 175gr nosler partition to about 2600 fps and it sure takes both moose and boar.

Now Im thinking of getting a side by side double rifle for driven hunt, but Im not sure if I should go for my favourite 7x65r? The intention is to hunt mainly moose and boar but also whitetail and roe. Im convinced about that the caliber is enough for these game, but is it suitable in a double rifle, with most shots within a range of 10-60 m and sometimes out to about 100-150 m?

The alternatives for me would be either 8x57irs or 9,3x74r, both good calibers and easy to find nice rifles. But why not 7x65r? Would be glad for some advice here!

(PS - beside 7x65r I use 6,5x55 SE and 45-70 govt for different occasions)
